Anyone over 60 that doesn’t have an online account will receive their statements in the mail.

The statement provides information like the future estimate of your benefits, your earnings history, and information about the different programs available through Social Security.

Changes include formatting so it’s easier for recipients to read and comprehend.

The information is now divided into sections so you can find information faster.
